What is Judaism?
Education Philosophy and Religion Department at Parkway Central Library
Are Judaism and Jews a people, a nation, a religion, a culture, a way of life, or something else? Rabbi Joel Kessler will attempt to demystify one of the world's oldest and most misunderstood religions. Please join us as Rabbi Kessler discusses the laws that constitute the core of Judaism, the various denominations that unite and divide Jews, the significance of Israel, and more.
Rabbi Kessler received his rabbinic ordination in Jerusalem and is a member of the International Rabbinic Fellowship. He also is a lawyer and a cantor who has sung in front of such dignitaries as President Bill Clinton, New York Governor George Pataki, three U.S. Senators, and former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
This program will be held in Room 108. on the 1st floor of the Parkway Central Library.
The event is free, but we ask that you register at Eventbrite.
